This is really a moist bread. I cut one loaf open because I just wasn't sure it was done. Too bad we had to eat it right away lol! I had super black bananas, so there was a great banana flavor. I used 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1/2 cup of oil instead of 1 cup oil. I reduced the sugar to 2 cups. It didn't seem sweet enough coming out of the oven, but sitting overnight, it became perfect. It is an easy recipe, anytime I don't want to bother with butter, I am using this one!!!

An easy and forgiving recipe that goes in the permanent folder -- I also decreased the sugar to two cups; and along with my 4 big, very ripe bananas it seemed quite sweet hot out of the oven, but this morning the flavors have mellowed and the sweetness is just right. I love that it made two nice loaves; one bowl, excellent; and lends itself to tweaks so you can add the spices or flavors your family prefers. Somebody suggested doubling the vanilla and cinnamon, which I did, and using a little nutmeg and allspice. The allspice was a new one for me but it was really good. No problem with blandness at all -- do add more spices, the base recipe can take it -- I also used 1/2 cup whole Spelt flour, and the rest white Spelt flour and it was great for this recipe. Also used coconut oil instead of regular veg oil. It smelled heavenly while baking, though there was no coconut flavor once the bread was out and cooled. Thank you for submitting this one, Lisa!

Add me to the others that LOVE this bread! I made it for hubby's people at work and they all loved it too. It was so easy and the bread was SO moist! I left out the pecans because of nut allergies. I also used 2 cups sugar instead of 3 and used 3/4 cup vegetable oil and 1/4 applesauce instead of 1 cup oil. Making this one a lot!

My bread turned out great! I made a few changes to the recipe as well. I replaced 1cup of white sugar with 1cup of brown sugar and I decreased the amount of oil and added applesauce...lastly I added pecans as well as candied cranberries!! I topped it with brown sugar, butter and vanilla....it made a great recipe even greater, it was a perfect touch! Thanks for sharing!
